Monday night tropical update: Hurricane Fiona and wave headed to Caribbean

Chief Meteorologist Chris Franklin says in the Monday Night Tropical Update that Hurricane Fiona is set to become first major hurricane of the season.

The second area is a tropical wave approaching the Caribbean later this week and one we might need to watch long term. It's already trying to organize more and could become a depression or storm later this week as it enters the Caribbean. The final outcome of this system is unknown as it's a long ways out and not organized. However, we have a lot of model agreement that something forms and the steering currents could allow it to move toward the Gulf into next week. Overall, it's a long ways out, we need to watch it, but we have plenty of time to watch it and it poses no immediate threat. No reason to worry right now as there are still too many unknowns. The next names are Gaston and Hermine.

The weathers so unreliable. These storms will do what they please. If Fiona wants to curve into NYC as a Cat 4 it will. Hell it could hit the whole coast line and circle back into Puerto Rico again then hit Florida. Remember hurricane Maria? Hit Puerto Rico, then hit Florida then circle back around and then hit Puerto Rico as a cat 4 and Florida again.
